Beckham unveils clothing line in NYC

NEW YORK, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- British pop singer and clothing designer Victoria Beckham debuted her first line of dresses at an exclusive show during New York's Fashion Week.

The Daily Mail of Britain said the 10-piece "Victoria Beckham" collection is comprised solely of figure-hugging dresses in muted colors with hemlines that fall a couple of inches below the knee.

The Mail quoted Beckham as saying: "I always wanted to be a fashion designer. Then along came the Spice Girls which opened a lot of doors for me. And, let's be honest, closed a lot. But those days are over. I was never going to be the world's best singer, but I hope I can be a good designer."

Only 400 dresses will be made during the line's first season and the garments will be priced starting at about $1,200. They will be available in stores in February, the Mail said.
